【Event】18082012 Anicom 3rd week

Well, this was my first time attending Anicom (though its one of the historic cosplay event in Malaysia), held in 6th floor of Sungai Wang, in KL. The event was surprisingly small than what I was expecting. I decided to go home for the whole Raya week holiday, and since we have Kuroko's plan with Molly and others from KL, Yuu and Molly came down with me to KL on that Friday.

It was god damn early when I reached KL that morning, most shopping malls were not opened yet, hence I sat in TS Starbucks for an hour plus to had a cup of Caramel Machiatto. Glad that it was opened early morning ! I went to get some cloths for Momoi for AMG the next week in TS and yes I did get everything I need in a considerably cheap price ^^. The event started only at about 3pm, I try to do as much shopping as I could as it was like ages back since I last shopped in TS. Woman's closet are always less of a piece no matter how it is filled. :)

I was doing Mary from the RPG game Ib, together with Kappy Ng as Ib and also Kaien Yuu as Gary. I'll do a review of the game and maybe a simple walkthrough in the future. This was the kind of game I was so into ^^ creepily horror..and its art gallery!!!! Although I did not choose art as the path to go, it was always my fancy dream to achieve.. Someday maybe ( not a good way of deciding things....)

I met quite a lot of old faces and also some new faces, was happy that I could worked with Kappy for Ib, for the first time ^^.

Camwhoring with YanZi~

Little bits of my crappy mind here: Mary's dress was quite a torture though... Initially, I underestimated the shoulder lenght, was quite in a panic, but later, did came out to be quite ok. The later part on the sleeves, was such torment... I redraw the pattern for 4 to 5 times.. and just couldnt get it right.. they called this leg o' mutton sleeves.... I decided to use the simplest way ... and somehow.. it didnt came to be as puff as I was expected... hmm... well... wasn't sure if I want to redo the sleeves..

We went for a simple shoot with Alex near that floor (A.R.C. photography: https://www.facebook.com/the.arc.photography ) for this series. Not the proper one yet, but still got awesome photos from him~ ^^

As planning earlier with Molly, we want to do the "If World" when Kiseki no Seidai go out to work in the future. So the theme was like having a gathering after work kind of thing. Well.. although there is a version for Kagami as well.. but we couldn't get Kagami... that's why..... assume he passed away in the fire..... ( I still love Kagami .. T^T)

One sneak peek .

Finally, after 3 months of dragging, I had finished up Alice.. Well, it didn't went as what I had planned initially though. There are still a few shots that was not suitable to be included in here, might post it in DA instead.

Basically, I was thinking of doing the gloomy hazy edits like the first few photos. It went wild later on, when I started doing Alice in the red jungle edits, with Molly's advise "make the leaves all red" and it happened. I was struggling in between the two color tones, to be reddish or greenish.. and in the end this is the results--- a mixture of both, which definitely a product of desperation. I had been piling up all the other photoshoots which I had no idea why am I having the stubborn persistent of getting Alice done before I start doing others... I tried to mix both together.. although still awkward, but at least its the christmas perfect match, still looks good right? (*trying to hypnotize myself away from the dilenma*)

Back to Alice. Previously, I was very keen of American Mcgee's Alice, the earlier version of the Alice game. Hence, I was very excited when the sequel, Alice: Madness Returns came out, get into addiction for a few weeks, and lost connection with it again after school started. I wasn't yet through with the whole game, left it after Chapter One ended, was yet to resume the game until I get a new PC that could support it. I was very fond of the background settings of the game,  19th century's London city, the same background as Sherlock Holmes. My impression for London at that time is hazy, gloomy, greyish city, painted with mysteries that lied under the norms. And obviously, the londonair Alice is in my cosplan *v*. I do believe that every girls that read, will once thought of becoming Alice. It was one of my to-be-dream character, either our dear disney Alice or any Alices out there. This Alice however, strikes my preference the most. Insanity is always hidden under the conscious of all people, a reflection of the reality stresses that was beyond the threshold. Its good to be insane sometimes, as it maintains sanity's balance, stopping things from going too wild.

I wasn't planning anything much when I start doing this shoot. It was randomly arranged, with whatever that we could think of ( thanks to Molly and Yuu for saikang-ing for me). Later on, I was struggling in giving out just random pose of Alice, hence I tried to fit captions for it. I picked out a few lines from all the game teasers and trailers. Well, although not to much as what I imagined it to be, at least it still makes sense..... perhaps... To clear out some confusion, the captions were in Alice perspective.
